Hey, I just got my zalman 9500 and started cranking my e6400..
I stated before that I had it at 320x8 2.56ghz on stock cooling when I had one gig of ram.. I got a 2nd gig of ram a several months later (same model), and all i could get on the same settings was 300x8 2.4ghz.
Anyway, recently I had been messing with it before I got the zalman and all i got was 313x8 2.504ghz and after that I had problems. I tried EVERYTHING and couldnt get it.. so now that I got my zalman I was determined to figure out why I cant get this at 3.2ghz+..
anyway I tried it with JUST my single stick of ram from before and got 400x8 3.2ghz EASY.. but when I add the 2nd gig it doesnt work..
So my question is why would a 2nd stick of the same model ram not let me OC it anywhere near as far as the first stick? Is it just bad ram or a bad stick? I really want to keep it at least 2.8-3.2ghz without having to sacrafice the 2nd stick ><..
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
